Opinion: For the love of green bean casserole

by Helen Chisolm Views: 796

When you think of Thanksgiving, what do you think of? Food, family, crafts, shopping, etc.?

Well, when I think of Thanksgiving, I think of crowding into my grandparents’ house with my whole family dressed up.

We normally eat Thanksgiving “linner”, late lunch, and an early dinner. We have the typical Thanksgiving food: turkey, green beans, rolls, casseroles, potatoes, gravy, etc. I can pinpoint my favorite food very easily when I get in line to fill up my plate. Green bean casserole is always the best dish on the counter. 

Here is a classic recipe for Green Bean Casserole from McCormick:
